Betting money on the Lions is always a bad idea

Upon researching the history of the NFL, it seems that the Lions and Browns played in a number of championship games in the 1950s ('52-'54, '57) when Detroit was actually a force to be reckoned with. The Lions were an impressive 3-1 in these 4 title games, which would mean that this story takes place in 1954, when the Lions got whomped 54-10 by Cleveland. Of course, the game wasn't called the Super Bowl back then, so that can probably be blamed on the author's ignorance. Otherwise this story isn't all that far-fetched (in terms of the football aspect; the mob stereotyping is another story).

Since when do mobsters shoot out kneecaps? Isn't that what the baseball bats are for?

Oh, wait. I get it. This is his original take on mobsters: they shoot people to threaten them, and only take out the bats when it gets serious. I can see it now: Michael Corleone storming out of the bathroom, the St. Louis Slugger that was disguised as a toilet brush in his hand, and proceeding to pummel the brains out of Sollozzo and McCluskey for twenty minutes, before the getaway car finally shows up.
